Billy Joel - Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) (from Old Grey Whistle Test)

Billy Joel “Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)" from Old Grey Whistle Test
Listen to Billy Joel: billyjoel.lnk....
Shortly after Billy Joel earned his first U.K. Top 40 hit with “Just The Way You Are,” he and his band travelled to England for an electrifying performance recorded for the hit BBC series The Old Grey Whistle Test. Ahead of his first headlining show in the country, Billy performed all the hits from The Stranger plus additional classics from his repertoire.

Lyrics:
Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for someday
Mama Leone left a note on the door
She said, Sonny, move out to the country
Workin' too hard can give you
A heart attack (ack)
You oughta know by now (oughta know)
Who needs a house out in Hackensack
Is that what you get with your money
It seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama if that's movin' up
Then I'm movin' out
I'm movin' out
Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatore's down
On Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
He's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac
You oughta know by now
And if he can't drive
With a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders
It seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama if that's movin' up
Then I'm movin' out
I'm movin' out
You should never argue with a crazy mind (mmm)
You oughta know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money
If that's what you have in mind
If that's what you're all about
Good luck movin' up
'Cause I'm moving out
I'm moving out
I'm moving out

[@stereodreamer23]

You have to wonder if Billy Joel had any idea at this point in his career that one day he would be considered one of the greatest musicians of his time, become a multi-millonaire, and marry a super-model? He certainly "moved up"...

[@jjaeger14]

...went bankrupt, divorced super model, made horrible do wop music to please supermodel got fat. Yet he remains my fav rock and roll artist. 1st 5 albums magic (not counting cold spring harbor). Glass houses is acceptable, and next one ok. But downfall came from Innocent Man onward. I stopped going to his concerts (4 total I think for me) because he'd play the do wop crap that went away from the rock and roll I loved

[@evansarzin6516]

This album was his big break. No doubt after this he could write a hit.

[@speedingpenguin]

Yeah, it was my fave late night show (well, late night in those days!). King Crimson's performance was one that changed everything for me. A band that I got into in my high school days but never saw live because they broke up in 1974/5. Then all of a sudden they appear again, doing/playing like nothing I'd heard before.Thankfully you can find a lot of OGWT clips on here. The box set dvd's are a great reminder, of naked live performance and creativity on show (no fancy lighting and effects, just stripped down to performance. BTW, love Billy Joel.

I know right 👍👍👍

[@zyxwut321]

This is such a quintessential 70s pop, jazz, New York and American classic. It voices and captures the frustration of late 20th century middle class ambitions so clearly. Joel's character knows about the sacrifices his parents, family and community made for his comfortable life and appreciates them but is impatient to make his own mark on the world. By painting such a specific and personal picture of a time and place he conversely universalizes his story, as he does in so much of his music. His stories are of weary, wary but still optimistic characters finding their way in the world and the portraits are tender but unsparing. He loves his home but he's outgrown it, and is now MOVIN' OUT, as so many young adults do. It's that ambition that moves life forward.

Love Billy Joel. Sullivan street in NYC. Born and raised in Brooklyn, he gets the city. We don't have music like this anymore. He's amazing and the greatest 🤗🤗🤗

I wasn't born in NY, but I really like this song. Girl you need to stop listening to Funk..and listen to more Classics like this, Billie Joel, Paul McCartney,. Elton John..
